How much RAM do you have?

Try crashkernel=auto or larger crashkernel sizes (256M, 512M)

Re: fedora 17 failed to load kdump kernel

Hello,

I got only 2GB

I've tested using 256, and 512 .. the same problem

is it something about PAE option?

I think that "auto" option it is for >4GB ram ???

Thank you
